The Turbans are an energetic multi-member London-based dub/klezmer/gypsy band. In April, they released their world-music inspired self-titled debut on Six Degrees. Their album features musicians whose roots emanate from Turkey, Bulgaria, Israel, Iran, Greece, Spain and England.

Long-time friend and fellow Londoner GAUDI, who has played with the outfit in India, introduced the chaps to the folks at Six Degrees. The Turbans pay it forward by tapping him to reimagine their track “Aman” for the dance floor. We’re thrilled to world premiere his hypnotic, sweat-inducing remix.

GAUDI had this to say about his re-rub of”Aman”: “I personally picked this track and I reworked it with a different perspective and angle. I could feel it had an enormous potential as their next single but felt the track needed a different arrangement and approach in order to make it 100 percent solid and appealing to every type of music palate. The song was played without any click so it was very ‘live’ and quite difficult to create a constant solidity all the way through. I then created a fixed BPM and I adapted every single element to it. It was a very hard job, but the final result is so beautiful that every second I dedicated to this production was 100 percent worth it.”

After presenting his debut album, Once Upon A Time In Napoli, in February, Italian DJ/producer Davide Squillace’s This And That Lab is set to release a second label compilation, SSFW #02. Curated by the Circoloco resident himself, the eight-track release features a contribution from Squillace and a selection of choice cuts from rising and established house and techno talent including Anja Schneider, Douglas Greed, Mathias Kaden, Alessio Mereu, Lancaster, Nandu, SB-Unit, Francesco Mami, Alfa Romero, Frank Storm and Nici.

We’re thrilled to world premiere “Yokino,” a cut by the previously mentioned Alessio Mereu, which marks his debut effort for the label.

An up-and-comer who’s released on Parquet, Harthouse, Amam and Poker Flat, “Yokino” is a sinewy, trippy tech-house affair that’s peppered with tribal percussion and a slinky, mysterious groove.

Berlin duo Marmion — the musical union of Mijk van Dijk and Marcos López — have been working dance floors into a frenzy since the ’90s. Take a listen to the original version of their classic track “Schöneberg,” and you’ll undoubtedly agree that this track will still rock you like a hurricane.

While their 1994 classic has been remixed many times over the years, the latest iteration of their timeless jam has been reimagined by veteran German electro-pop duo 2raumwohnung, who’ve been crafting killer cuts since 2000. Partners Inga Humpe and Tommi Eckart marvelously douse the track with sleek, modern vibes, airy pads and electro-charged percussion. It’s simple and oh-so-good.

Get a first listen to the world premiere of their remix below and be sure to pick up the remix out August 3, featuring another version crafted by Der Dritte Raum.

On his upcoming eight-track debut album, Some Strange Reason, Black embarks down a road of musical exploration, navigating through genres like downtempo, glitch and dub.

We’re thrilled to world premiere “Blue Light Ocean,” a majestic trip-hop track culled from the LP where Black lets his imagination run wild.

“While arranging the final version, I envisioned being tossed around an ocean at night, being submerged and pulled along with the current towards some surreal beach,” Black says. “‘Blue Light Ocean’ represents one of the main themes of the album, which is the balance between organic and digital. There’s a lot of synthesized sounds juxtaposed with guitar, bass and live drum recordings. This track also serves as a time capsule that includes dozens of samples I recorded from fellow YHS artists over the last two years. Alongside the programmed drum patterns are kit recordings of Nuntheless and Wing Vilma. I tracked them jamming over the track separately, almost a year apart, and used bits and pieces to create some of the drum loops you hear in the song. There’s also vocal chops from Primer, and random horn stabs from Norty that I recorded when I went to visit him last year in Colorado.”
